3M 7000118613 Hookit Soft Disc Pad 6 Inches 53 Holes

Product Description

The 3M 7000118613 is a Hookit Clean Sanding Soft Disc Pad designed for use with 6-inch Clean Sanding Hookit discs in surface preparation and finishing applications. The pad body is constructed from soft beige foam that allows the disc to conform to contoured surfaces, reducing loading and extending abrasive life. A one-piece threaded shank with 5/16-24 external threads provides low vibration and improved rotational balance during operation. The pad measures 6 inches in diameter with a 11/16-inch thickness and features 53 through-holes aligned for dust extraction when used with compatible vacuum systems. Weighing 0.37 pounds, it is suited for professional finishing environments.

This pad is intended for sanding applications using abrasive grades of 220 and finer, making it appropriate for final finishing passes on wood, painted surfaces, and other substrates where conformability and swirl-free results are required. It is commonly used in automotive refinishing, woodworking shops, and general industrial surface prep where a soft-interface pad is needed to follow curved or irregular profiles. The Hookit hook-and-loop attachment system allows for fast disc changes without tools, which supports efficient workflow in production environments.

Key Features

• Soft beige foam construction improves conformability on curved and irregular surfaces
• 53-hole pattern supports through-pad dust extraction for cleaner working conditions
• One-piece threaded shank with 5/16-24 external threads reduces vibration and improves balance
• Recommended for abrasive grades 220 and finer for fine finishing work
• Hookit hook-and-loop interface allows tool-free disc attachment and removal

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch Clean Sanding Hookit discs. Threads are 5/16-24 external, compatible with standard random orbital and orbital sanders accepting this thread specification.

Installation Notes

This pad is installed by threading the shank into the tool spindle by hand until snug — do not over-tighten. Confirm the sander is unplugged or the air supply is disconnected before attaching or removing the pad. Hookit discs should be pressed firmly onto the pad face to ensure full hook engagement before operation. Inspect the foam body for tears or compression set before each use, and replace the pad if deformation is visible.
